Looking for a creative, luxurious way to tell mom how much she means to you this year? Our favorite gift idea is a stylish bag stuffed with goodies that she can use to enjoy summer on the beach (or on the back porch)! We have some great suggestions to get you started, and you can add your own “personal touches” to make this a very special gift mom will treasure for years to come.
Start with a Weekender Bag from Beis. This bag makes packing for a weekend getaway a breeze! A bottom compartment for your shoes is the perfect place for a pair of flip flops or sandals to wear AFTER mom gets off the airplane, and there is even room to stash beauty essentials (like your hair dryer). A zipper pocket on the back also acts as a trolley sleeve to fit over your luggage handle, making this the perfect carry-on for longer trips. We also stuffed an Airfly Pro Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter in mum’s bag, so she can enjoy the movie on the flight.
Looking good and feeling good on the beach should be effortless, so you’ll want to pack some goodies to help mom feel stylish in the sun. Try these gorgeous Jaw Clips from France Luxe for an easy and beautiful updo that can go straight from the beach to the beachside café. Mum will also want a comfortable but stylish cover-up for after the beach or strolling on the boardwalk. We love this versatile Sunlace Long Open-Front Duster from Tommy Bahama. Throw it over a swimsuit as an easy cover-up, or wear it over jeans with a bikini top for a casual style on cooler days.
Make sure to include some beach-friendly essentials like the best-smelling sunscreen ever from Vacation Classic Sunscreen. This water-resistant lotion not only protects, it smells so good that it comes with an air freshener in the same scent. Mum will also need a great beach towel, so get her a 2-pack of these oversized, Sand Resistant Beach Towels from Sam’s Club to help her relax in style without the grit.
The most important gear for a day on the beach is a great book. Get a copy of Emily Henry’s Funny Story to keep mum smiling and turning pages while she soaks up the sun. We also grabbed this easy-to-use LED Neck Reading Light that allows mum to read in bed without that hassle of a light clip that prevents page-turning (in case she wants to finish the book after the sun goes down).
Speaking of bedtime, don’t forget to include one of these wonderful SilkSilky Beauty Sleep Sets complete with sleep cap, scrunchie, pillowcase, and eye mask. Add in a set of Lunya Washable Silk Pajamas to help mum enjoy sweet dreams without the dry cleaning bill usually associated with wearing silk.
Don’t forget to give mum something special she can enjoy year after year! Shutterfly Photo Books allow you to create a keepsake that mum can place on her coffee table to enjoy every day (and share with visitors when she wants to show off her family). Pick some favorite photos and create something unique that truly celebrates everything mom does for the family.
Every mum loves something sweet on Mother’s Day, so get her some Cordial Strawberries from Sarris Candies to tempt her tastebuds! These delicious chocolates are a Sarris specialty that many moms look forward to. Juicy, fresh strawberries rolled in a special sugar and coated in two layers of dark or milk chocolate create a one-of-a-kind treat that she will savor.
Add your own special touches, or pick out some items that are uniquely “mom” to make your Mother’s Day Bag a celebration of your favorite lady! Your mum will be grateful for the special attention. Happy Mother’s Day!
